People can register to vote by midnight tonight.
Once registered, they have until 5pm on Tuesday, April 21, to secure a postal vote. The last date to apply for a proxy vote is 5pm on Tuesday, April 28.
Sandra Black, returning officer for the election for the Paisley and Renfrewshire South, and Paisley and Renfrewshire North, said: “It is very near the cut off point but there is still time for people to secure their vote.
“It is straightforward to register online or in person and staff at the Electoral Registration Office are ready to provide help and advice.” People can use the GOV.UK website to register to vote or update their name, address or other details on the electoral register.
It is also possible to check if your name is on the electoral register by asking in any local library or calling the Electoral Registration Officer on 0300 300 0150.
